Following these rules will protect you from most issues if the IRS comes knocking on your door. Take steps to get organized and be proactive with your business records so you can stop worrying about the IRS. Don’t wait until tax filing season to get your records in order. Organize your documents with your first touch of the paper or electronic transaction. Tackle one piece of paper or electronic transaction at a time and process it completely.
